Revision history for Bytes::Random::Secure
0.29 2015-07-12
- Added a shuffle method available via the OO user interface.
- Added a SEE ALSO POD section that mentions Bytes::Random::Secure::Tiny
0.28 2013-11-21
- Removed silly micro-optimization that was responsible for generating a
warning in Perl versions prior to 5.18.
0.27 2013-10-06
- Merged pull request from David Steinbrunner: specifying meta-spec
so metadata can be seen/used.
- Fixed t/05-kwalitee.t to work with latest revisions on Test::Kwalitee.
0.26 2012-06-22
- Improved a test comment in t/27....t. Removed a comment paragraph that
isn't relevant now that the timing has been removed.
- POD edits.
- POD spelling corrections (closes RT#86326).
- Add "FORK AND THREAD SAFETY section to CAVIATS.
0.25 2012-02-23
- Removed the speed test / fall-back from t/27-fips140-1.t; it's unnecessary,
and could cause divide by zero errors on really fast systems.
0.24 2012-02-22
- Added a small explanation of Test::Warn optional dependency to the
DEPENDENCIES section of the POD. Most of the explanation is in the
INSTALLATION section.
- Added t/27-fips140-1.t: Code taken directly from Dana Jacobsen's
Crypt::Random::TESHA2 module's test suite. This test implements the
FIPS 140-1 tests. See http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips1401.htm
- Removed "slow" tests from t/20-functions.t: The FIPS-140 tests are superior
and make the older slow tests unnecessary.
0.23 2012-02-11
- Clarified the (small) magnitude of the performance issues surrounding
random_string_from() (MODULO BIAS section of POD). (DANAJ's suggestion.)
- Added a test for _closest_divisor().
- Added a POD section discussing ISAAC's strengths.
- Increased SEED_MAX bits from 512 (arbitrary) to 8192 (theoretical
max for ISAAC). Added explanation to POD, and adjusted tests.
- Minor corrections in # code comments (accuracy).
- Added irand() object method per Dana Jacobsen's request and
code contribution.
- POD and tests for irand().
- Test::Warn is now an optional dependency. By ensuring that Test::Warn is
installed, the module has 100% test coverage (per Devel::Cover).
0.22 2013-01-29
- Implement suggestions from Dana Jacobsen (Unicode tests, specify minimum
versions for dependencies, document installation on older Perls).
- POD correction -- Removed reference to config_seed.
- POD: Added INSTALLATION section to address issues with older Perls.
- POD: Clarified "CAVEATS" with discussion of Unicode support in pre-5.8.9.
- Added t/23-string_from_unicode.t to test Unicode on Perl 5.8.9+.
- Added a Unicode example to examples/random_from.pl.
- Set a CONFIGURE_REQUIRES to pull in a recent ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
- Set minimum versions on some Core modules from which we're using newer
features, or which behaved badly in old 5.6.x-contemporary versions.
0.21 2013-01-24
- All functions and methods will now throw an exception if the byte-count
parameter is passed something that doesn't look like an integer >= 0.
- examples/*.pl updated to demonstrate new features.
- Remove silly check for "bag" strings longer than 2**32.
- Eliminate a line of unreachable code from _closest_divisor().
- Test coverage is now 100%.
0.20 2013-01-24
- This is a major release. Much thanks to Dana Jacobson for his ideas,
suggestions, code reviews, and for writing Crypt::Random::Seed.
- Major refactoring / rewrite.
- Built an OO base layer over which the functions interface is a thin wrapper.
- OO interface exposed publically.
- Documented all functions. (POD)
- removed config_seed() (never publically released).
- Seed defaults for both interfaces are 256 bits.
- Major enhancements to test suite. (Coverage is 99.3%)
- ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CHANGES ARE FROM (UNRELEASED) 0.13:
- * Compatible with Perl 5.6.
- * Dropped Crypt::Random::Source dependency in favor of Crypt::Random::Seed.
- * Seeding is lazy.
- * Minimum seed size: 2-longs (64 bits). Maximum, 16 longs (512 bits).
- * Documented how to configure seeding.
0.13 2013-01-15 (Never released)
- POD clarification, enhancement.
- Improved backwards compatibility support for Perl v5.6.x.
- Eliminated Crypt::Random::Source dependency in favor of Crypt::Random::Seed;
Thanks to Dana Jacobsen for creating that light-weight and powerful tool.
- Added some seed tests.
- Made Test::Pod::Coverage a 'RELEASE_TESTING' only test.
- Made seeding and RNG-instantiation "lazy" so that
"use Bytes::Random::Secure;" only drains system entropy if random bytes are
actually requested. (Thanks again to Dana Jacobsen for the idea).
- Modified _seed() to pass seed configuration through to Crypt::Random::Seed's
constructor.
- Added a config_seed() class method to facilitate configuration of
the Crypt::Random::Seed object used in seeding the ISAAC algorithm.
- Minimum seed size set to 2-longs, max to 16-longs (default).
- Documented how to configure the seeding, and explained why it might be
useful to do so (drain less system entropy).
- Added META.* tests.
0.12 2012-12-09
- Applied rewrite of random_bytes() from Dana Jacobsen, that improves
performance while at the same time making better use of the 32 bit random
value returned by ISAAC.
- POD fixes/tweaks.
0.11 2012-12-05
- Fixed a few issues where v0.10 broke compatibility with Perls older than
v5.10. (Removed // operator.)
- POD improvements.
- Added a few entries in MANIFEST.SKIP.
0.10 2012-12-04
- Better handling of random_bytes() (no parameter passed): Now defaults to
zero bytes explicitly, so we don't get "uninitialized values" warnings.
- Added random_string_from($bag,$length) function.
- Added tests for no param list, as well as for new random_string_from()
function and its support functions.
- POD enhancements.
- Removed bytes pragma; it wasn't necessary, and prevented support for
unicode code points in random_string_from()'s bag.
0.09 2012-11-02
- "Changes" is now CPAN::Changes::Spec compliant.
- Added t/09-changes.t to verify spec compliance.
0.08 2012-10-28
- Added an example in the ./examples/ directory.
- Added a minimum Perl version to the distribution metadata.
0.07 2012-09-23
- Refined t/20-functionality.t's approach toward verifying bytes seem well
behaved.
- Corrected a couple of POD problems.
- Note: Under Moose the test suite generates a few warnings. Not sure what
the best solution will be (they're harmless but annoying).
0.06 2012-09-21
- Fixed the optionality of t/21-bytes_random_tests.t.
- Documented the install process in README.
0.05 2012-09-20
- POD revisions: Better details on dependencies, minimizing bloat, and
Win32-specific requirements.
- 21-bytes_random_tests.t is now optional, because Statistics::Basic will
fail to install in some environments due to a problem in one of its
dependencies (Number::Format).
0.04 2012-09-19
- Added t/21-bytes_random_tests.t, which is an adaptation of the test suite
for the Bytes::Random module.
- Added a BUILD_REQUIRES dependency to accommodate the Bytes::Random tests.
0.03 2012-09-18
- POD enhancements, explaining the dependency chain, and how to minimize
the Any::Moose impact by ensuring Mouse is installed.
- Removed syntax that was only valid for newer versions of Perl. We should
be 5.6.x compatible now.
- Placed the random number factory in a closure, making it only accessable
by the accessor random_bytes().
- Added some tests for seed generation since we took that functionality
away from Math::Random::Secure when we removed it from our list of
dependencies in v0.02.
- Added a Win32 test to Makefile.PL so that a Windows-only dependency will
be included if necessary.
0.02 2012-09-17
- Removed Math::Random::Secure dependency.
- Added Math::Random::ISAAC and Crypt::Random::Source dependencies (they
were already dependencies of Math::Random::Secure, so we're actually a
little lighter-weight now).
- POD enhancements: Explain Math::Random::ISAAC::XS plugin, explain
dependency chain, and explain why it gets a whole lot worse under Windows.
0.01 2012-09-06
- Initial CPAN release.
